Swedish punk rockers NONTHEWISER will be releasing “The lonely man” on December 16th , the third and final single from their upcoming debut album, out in early 2023.
“The lonely man” has a somber country western feel while maintaining the speed and nerve of punk rock, about the darkness and angst of solitude.
Revered as one of Canada’s most exciting punk rock bands from the 90s, Another Joe has regrouped and recorded a new album set for release in early 2023 in concert with People of Punk Rock Records and has released its first single on all streaming platforms called “Mexico”
Mexico comes screaming out of the gates with all the energy, and uplifting aggression modern-day rockers have been starving for. This is the anthem for anyone who wants to shed everyday life’s stress, anxiety and restrictions.
It’s as catchy as the common cold and what the punk rock doctor ordered.
ABOUT THE BAND
High-value Canadian punk band Another Joe is back to making smart, exciting, and occasionally snotty rock music after a long hiatus. The group’s new album, Ready or Not, is their first noise since disbanding in 2001 after becoming established as one of the top draws in the Canadian scene. Set to drop early in 2023 in concert with People of Punk Rock Records, Ready or Not is an absolutely cracking set of new tunes that will quickly put Another Joe back in front of international crowds of fans, both old and new.
The band began in 1995 and built its following through extensive touring and playing locally with other important acts, including AFI, No Use for A Name, GOB, SNFU, Moneen, Chixdiggit, and The Suicide Machines (to name a few). Another Joe made four well-received albums during its original period, Pee Against The Wind featuring their first hit, Eat at Bernies, Ass Seen On TV (split with fellow Canadian punks, GOB), Cran-doodle Daddy, and Plasti-scene. The group went hard until then-drummer left the fold and a proper replacement proved hard to find. They finally called it quits in 2001.
Fast-forward to 2022, when Pee Against the Wind was remastered and re-released on streaming services for the first time and vinyl by People of Punk Rock Records. The fan response was overwhelming, and it became clear that there was still a demand for Another Joe.
Founding member Jon Glen had been writing and recording new material with no plans to reform the band but changed his mind after going through the creative process and discovering how many people wanted new music from Another Joe. Suddenly, putting the band back together seemed like an excellent idea.
The current lineup of Another Joe is the strongest in the group’s history and is primed to tour in 2023. Guitarist/vocalist Jon Glen, bassist/vocalist Alison Toews, guitarist/vocalist Ryan Wagner, and drummer/vocalist Mario Nieva are a high-energy crew ready to bring their wildly entertaining combination of melody, creativity, anger, and frustration to the masses. They’re more intense now than ever before and plan to retake their rightful place on top of the Canadian scene.

One thing must be true, Paul McKenzie never quits and continues his celtic punk legends The Real McKenzies with so many line-up changes, sudden and less sudden and here is the new album out with Fat Wreck Chords. I must admit that I have never been a great fan of celtic punk and all that folk punk influenced music but I must also admit that this band is funny as hell to see live and raise some hell and drink something to their songs and music. This time, they bring 12 songs that continue in the vein of their previous couple of albums, meaning melodic punk with celtic punk, topped with recognizable Paul’ s voice and some really nice harmonies in choruses and backing vocals, some really great songs and some boring and not really good songs. The ones that I found great are My Heart’s in the Highlands, The Green Hills of Tyrol and Swansea Town with guest performance by Brenna Reid. Nothing special but okay in all.
